LISTEN: Bruce Springsteen releases new single & announces new album

Songs on Bruce Springsteen's new album will sound familiar to music fans.

Out on January 14th, The Boss' High Hopes compilation consists of a mix of cover songs of other people's material, re-recorded versions of previous Springsteen tracks, and newly recorded outtakes.

The album's title track, also a cover song, was released early after hints of new-music-to-come popped up last week.

High Hopes the album also includes appearances by Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello, who joined Springsteen on tour in Australia this year, as well as various members of Bruce's backing band, the E Street Band - late members Clarence Clemons and Danny Federici among them.

According to Springsteen's website, the album was recorded in New Jersey, Los Angeles, Atlanta and New York City.
